Nanaimo police say an officer narrowly avoided serious injury after a suspected impaired driver rear-ended a police vehicle over the weekend.
Police say the officer had stopped roadside along with another vehicle he had pulled over for speeding when an S-U-V struck the police car from behind.
Police say the force of the crash pushed the police vehicle into the stopped vehicle while the S-U-V rolled upside-down, but none of the three people involved suffered significant injuries.
The driver of the S-U-V has been arrested after showing symptoms of being impaired.
